2018 5 Best E-Readers

Kindle Oasis E-reader– Waterproof – Latest Kindle Version

Now comes the advances of the Oasis, which retains a 7? screen size, but perfected its size even further where it can be easily held in one hand. It light, thin and small case is a great new feature. Some were disappointed about the battery being split between the Oasis and its cover.

The new Oasis finally brings a fully waterproof device that most customers wished they had with the Voyage, and are really appreciating the Audible integration.

Amazon Kindle Voyage – Upgrade from paperwhite

The Voyage is a huge improvement in both clarity of text and conformity of screen lighting over the first generation Paperwhite. The screen is beautiful and the resolution lets you read at the smallest font possible while still having each letter look as crisp as a printed book.  There is an improvement on a battery life. And the higher DPI of the display is noticeably smoother with better contrast to the previous Kindles. The return of the page turn buttons on the bezel is a nice addition.

Best for Audiobooks: Amazon Fire HD 8 with Alexa (8″ HD Display Tablet)

The beauty of the Amazon Fire HD 8 is that when your eyes get tired of reading (which is probably due to the fact that this tablet lacks E Ink like the Kindles), you can switch to listening to your book. Thanks to integration with Audible and Amazon Alexa, you can say “Alexa, read Mission Impossible,” and she will pick up reading right where you left off. You can also ask her to pause, resume and skip ahead. Existing Audible members who have credits can purchase books simply by asking Alexa to read a book they don’t yet own, while non-members can purchase from the Amazon or Audible website.
